This was totally awesome and everyone should do it if they get the chance. It was so great because you have a chance to actually look around without worrying about snorkel equipment!!! For me that's a big deal. So much fun!! I highly recommend doing this.

Some were apprehensive about diving under the helmet to get into it but after that it's amazing as you get to see fishes and even turtles up close. You also get a fish food sponge to lure scads of fishes to you - just be careful to keep your fingers out of the way, or you may get a nibble! The safety divers guide your scooter and show you where to go (and some take video for sale later). The only possible discomfort may be if you don't equalize the pressure as you dive or ascend - this can be done several ways (such as swallowing or yawning - I couldn't get the "pinch nose and blow" method to work). Otherwise it's a blast. You also get to hang around a bit - on the boat or swimming or snorkeling - while the other groups are on the scooters.

Absolutely wonderful experience!
We were picked up right on time, and it was a short drive to the harbour from our hotel in Waikiki. The staff were all very friendly, helpful and professional and the sail boat was spacious and clean. The snorkeling gear was good quality and generally fit well, although my mask leaked a little.
We saw our first turtle not long after getting in the water, and saw quite a few more thereafter. They came very close to us as they surfaced to breath, making for incredible photo opportunities.
This was an amazing experience and anyone visiting the island and considering this activity will not be disappointed!

One of the staff members was not Japanese, but they spoke Japanese very fluently and were friendly, which made me feel at ease. I was able to see both dolphins and sea turtles, but I couldn't get close enough to interact with the dolphins; I only saw a few of them from a distance, which was a bit disappointing (this might be due to the nature of the experience and timing). However, overall, I had a great time, enjoying lunch on the boat and snorkeling to see the sea turtles.
スタッフのうち一人は日本人ではなかったですが日本語がとても流暢で感じもよく安心できました。
イルカもウミガメも見れましたが、
イルカと触れ合えるほど近くでは見れず、遠くに数匹程度ずつ見えたという感じだったので(これは自然相手でタイミングなのかもしれませんが)少し残念でした。
ただ、そのほか全体通して、ランチでボート上でのランチやシュノーケリングでウミガメを見れたりなど楽しい時間をすごすことができました。

Seconds after we got to the snorkeling spot, one of the guides emerged from the water holding an octopus, which everyone got to see and interact with. There were probably 7 or 8 sea turtles of all sizes and ages around us the whole time we were in the water, in addition to the tropical fish and moray eels on the reef. It was absolutely incredible.

I wanted to go to Hanauma Bay with a different tour company than last time, but it seems that the two plans listed on Veltra are from the same tour company. There is no difference in the guide's content between the two plans (only differences in the included fees). I'm disappointed that the plan names are different but it's the same tour company.
The guide was friendly, but I wonder if it's just me who feels a bit frustrated by how Americanized it is...
There was someone who got seasick. Those who can't swim might feel scared as the waves can pull you in. It requires stamina since you'll be swimming for about an hour.
前回と違ったツアー会社でハナウマ湾に行きたかったのですが、ベルトラに掲載されている2つのプランは同じツアー会社のようです。2プランともガイド内容に差はありません(含まれる料金の違い)。プラン名が違うのに同じツアー会社でがっかり。。
ガイドの方は気さくな感じですが、アメリカナイズされすぎていて少しイライラしてしまうのは私だけなのか…。
波酔いしている方がいました。泳げない人は波に体をもっていかれて恐怖感を感じるかも? 1時間ほど泳ぐので体力いります。

My husband, at 66 years old, took on his first snorkeling adventure! I had to persuade him to join, so I read various experiences and decided that this tour was the best choice. It was a great decision. I was worried about my husband, who has nasal issues, when I heard the instruction, "Breathe through your mouth only, not your nose," but thanks to Chieko's excellent teaching, he didn't struggle with breathing and was able to enjoy about an hour of snorkeling without holding back the younger couples. We created wonderful memories with the beautiful sea and the adorable, colorful fish. What is the path to enjoying snorkeling? The path to meeting the fish? Dan guided us along that sea path and helped us meet the fish. I recommend renting a wetsuit as it has many advantages, such as protecting against injuries from coral and helping with buoyancy, as well as keeping warm. Dan took plenty of photos and uploaded them to Facebook, so we could download them to our smartphones. The only disappointment was that we didn't get to see any sea turtles. It seemed that the continuous hour of swimming was tough for my husband, and he mentioned that he was tired and wanted a break.
夫は、66歳で初シュノーケリングに挑戦!渋る夫を説き伏せての参加だったので体験談をいろいろ読んで ツアーはここしかないと決めました。大正解でした。「鼻呼吸はしない 口呼吸だけです」の言葉に 鼻の悪い夫が心配になりましたが、教え方の上手なチエコさんのおかげで呼吸が苦しくなることもなく、若いカップルたちの足を引っ張ることもなく 1時間ほどのシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。きれいな海 可愛くきれいなお魚さんの数々 良い思い出が作れました。シュノーケリングを楽しむ道? お魚さんに会える道?なんでしょうか ダンさんがその海の道を案内してお魚さんに合わせてくれます。ウエットスーツは、サンゴからの怪我を避けるのと体が浮きやすくなる 寒さから身を守るなど利点が多いので借りることをお勧めします。写真もダンさんがいっぱい撮ってくれてフェイスブックにアップしてくれるので写真を自分のスマホにダウンロードできます。ただ残念だったのが、ウミガメさんには会えなかったことですね。1時間ぶっ続けのスイムは 夫にはきつかったみたいで疲れた 休憩ほしかったといってました。
Thank you for trying snorkeling for the first time with us. I apologize if your husband got quite tired. Our tour might involve more swimming than many other snorkeling tours (laughs). We really want you to see the beautiful fish in Hanauma Bay, so we tend to swim a bit too much. We always consider the sea conditions and tides of the day to guide you on the best route at that time. Next time, I will do my best to show you a sea turtle, so please come back with your husband for our tour again. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
この度は初シュノーケリングに挑戦していただき、ありがとうございます。旦那様にはかなり疲れさせてしまったようでごめんなさいね。私達のツアーは数あるシュノーケルツアーの中でも一番泳ぐかもしれません(笑)ハナウマ湾の綺麗なお魚達を沢山見て頂きたくて、ついつい泳ぎ過ぎてしまいます。いつもその日の海のコンディション、潮の満ち引きなどを考えて、その時のベストルートをご案内しております。次こそはウミガメをお見せできるように頑張りますので、またご夫婦で私達のツアーに来てくださいね。ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

The meeting place was hard to find, and I ended up wandering the beach for about ten minutes, which made me late, but it wasn't a problem. There was a staff member sitting near a banner that I saw in other people's posted photos. I was asked to write something in English, but I wasn't sure what to write, so I just wrote my name, and it seemed to be fine.
Around 9 o'clock, the cruiser arrived and we departed. I was the only Japanese person; the others were several families from overseas. There was an explanation in English, and while I couldn't catch everything, I understood the general idea of how to put on the life jacket and what to do in case of an emergency. I was given a life jacket and a mask, but I didn't receive fins; perhaps I could have borrowed them if I had asked. I found it cumbersome, so I just swam without them.
We quickly spotted sea turtles, and they were quite close. Two turtles came up for air right in the middle of about ten people swimming, which was very exciting. If I looked closely, I could also see several turtles on the seabed.
There weren't many types of fish, but there were plenty of them. The crew threw food from the cruiser, so the fish swam quite close. I got too excited and tired after about 30 minutes and climbed back onto the cruiser. Still, I was satisfied with how many sea turtles I saw. Others were taking breaks and swimming for quite a long time, enjoying their time freely.
However, in the latter part, I brought this upon myself; I got too excited and tired, and I had inflated my life jacket too much, which pressed on my stomach, combined with forgetting to take motion sickness medication, and I ended up feeling quite nauseous. A kind staff member noticed and brought me some water.
The weather was nice, and while I was enjoying the beautiful scenery during the cruise, I eventually felt better. If I had taken the motion sickness medication, it could have been an even more amazing memory. Even though the weather was good, there was some wind, so I was glad I brought a long-sleeved jacket and a large towel.
The staff couldn't speak Japanese, but when they realized I didn't understand, they communicated with gestures, and they were all kind and cheerful people. I have done snorkeling a few times, so I was okay, but since the time at the turtle spot felt quite free, it might be a bit anxiety-inducing for first-timers. However, if I have the chance to go to Waikiki again, I would like to participate once more.
集合場所が分かりづらくって10分浜辺をウロウロした為遅刻したのですが、問題はなかったです。
他の人の投稿写真にあった垂れ幕の近くに椅子に座ったスタッフさんがいました。
英語で何か書いてと言われたんですが、よくわからずとりあえず名前を書いたんですが、大丈夫そうでした。
9時ごろクルーザーが来て出発。日本人は私一人でした。他は海外の家族が何組かいました。英語で説明があり、全部とは言えませんがなんとなくライフジャケットのつけ方と緊急時の呼び方を言ってると分かりました。ライフジャケットとマスクは渡されたのですが、フィンが渡されず、言えば貸してもらえたのかもしれません。私は邪魔なのでそのまま泳ぎました。
ウミガメはすぐ見つかりました。しかも、かなり近いです。2匹が息継ぎのために10人ほど人が泳いでいる真ん中にあがってきて、とても興奮しました。目をこらすと海底でもウミガメが数匹確認できました。
種類は少ないですが魚もいっぱいいます。クルーザーから餌を投げてくれるので、かなり近くに泳いでます。
はしゃぎすぎて30分弱で疲れてクルーザーに上がりました。それでも充分ウミガメが見れて、満足できました。他の人は休み休み入ったり。かなり長く泳いでたりと自由に過ごしていました。
ただ、後半自業自得なのですが、はしゃぎすぎて疲れたのと、ライフジャケット空気を入れすぎて胃が圧迫されたのと、酔い止め薬を飲み忘れたのが重なって、かなり気持ち悪くなってしまいました。優しいスタッフが気付いてお水をくれました。
天気が良く、クルージングのとても良い景色を見ていたら、最後は復活しましたが、酔い止め薬飲んでおけば、本当に最高の思い出になったかもしれません。
天気は良くても風などがあるので、長袖の上着と大きめのタオルを持って行ってよかったです。
スタッフさんは日本語話せないのですが、私がわかってないとわかると身振りや手ぶりで伝えてくれて、優しいくて陽気な人たちばかりでした。
私はシュノーケリングは何回かしたことがあるので大丈夫でしたが、ウミガメがいるスポットについて、ただ自由時間って感じなので、初めての人にはちょっと不安が多いかもしれません。
でも、私はワイキキに行くことがあったら、また参加したいなと思いました。

I participated in the afternoon session starting at 12:30. Fortunately, we were the only participants. According to the guide, there were nine participants in the morning session, which seems to be more popular, possibly because it allows for more effective use of time. In the afternoon, the water temperature is warmer, so for those who dislike cold water, the afternoon might be a better option.
The guide, who has lived in Hawaii for over 20 years, shared a lot of information about Hawaii during the round trip, which was very helpful. They also provided thorough instructions during snorkeling. The snorkeling masks were of good quality, designed to prevent water from entering through the nozzle. On that day, there were quite a few waves, and while swimming, I occasionally got splashed, but since water didn’t come in from above, it was easy to swim.
The snorkeling time was about an hour, but it flew by as I was swimming and looking for fish. I couldn't find any turtles, but I was able to see various types of fish, which was enjoyable.
12時30分からの午後の回に参加しました。参加者はラッキーなことに私達だけ。ガイドさんいわく、午前は9人の参加だったそうで、時間を有効に使えるからか、午前のほうが人気とのこと。午後は海の温度が上がっているので午前より水が冷たくないので冷たいのが嫌な方は午後のほうがいいかもしれません。
ハワイで20年以上暮らしているというガイドさんは往復の移動中もハワイのことを色々と教えてくれて、ためになりました。
シュノーケルの際も丁寧に教えてくれます。シュノーケルのマスクはいいもので、ノズルの先から水が入らないようになっています。この日は波がかなりあって、泳いでいるときも時々波をかぶることがあったのですが、上から水が入らないので泳ぎやすかったです。
シュノーケルの時間は1時間程度とのことですが、魚を探して泳いでいたらあっという間に過ぎてしまいました。亀は見つけられませんでしたが、色々な種類の魚を観ることが出来て、楽しかったです。
Thank you for participating in the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. It’s not often that you get a private tour just for the two of you, so you were lucky! On that day, the tide was high and the waves were quite strong, so I thought sea turtles would come in close. I’m sorry we couldn’t show them to you. However, I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed your time. Please come back again, just the two of you. We are always waiting for you. Thank you. Mahalo!!

The activities included stand-up paddleboarding, canoeing, and a waterslide. The waterslide was even more fun than I imagined, and I went down it multiple times.

This time, I participated with my 3-year-old and 11-year-old children. We were told to jump into the water from the boat, and I was worried about whether my 3-year-old would be okay, but the staff kindly helped him down from the boat, and everyone was so nice and helpful.
The dolphins came up to the surface, so my younger child was able to see them and was thrilled, shouting "Dolphin!" After that, we went to a snorkeling spot that was so beautiful we could see the fish from the boat, and we were lucky enough to encounter a sea turtle! At first, my 3-year-old was scared of the deep sea since it was their first time, but by the end, they were crying because they didn't want to leave (laughs).
The staff were all kind and fun, and time flew by so quickly.
Since the boat does sway a lot, I think taking motion sickness medication is essential. Even though I wore a rented wetsuit, I felt cold in the water towards the end, so I recommend renting a wetsuit as well. They had children's sizes available, which was a big help.
I would love to participate again if I have the chance!
今回は3歳、11歳の子連れで参加。
船からはジャンプで入ります‼︎と言われ3歳の子は大丈夫かな?とハラハラしてましたがスタッフの人が船の上から優しく降ろしてくれたりと、みんな優しくて助かりました。
イルカが水面まで上がってきてくれたので、下の子もイルカを見る事が出来てイルカーー‼︎と喜んでいました☆
その後に行ったシュノーケリングポイントでは船の上からでも中の魚が見える程キレイな場所で、運良く海ガメにも遭遇出来ました‼︎
最初は初めての深い海に怖がっていた3歳児も最後は帰るのが嫌で泣くほどでした(笑)

However, even if the weather is good, the boat does sway when you head out to sea. A friend of mine got seasick, so I think it's essential for those considering this to prepare for seasickness. My friend mentioned that hunger and fatigue were also issues, so since the participation is early in the morning, make sure to have breakfast and get enough sleep beforehand.
運が良ければ海亀に会えるということでしたが、参加当日は二頭もの海亀が船の周りを泳いでいて、水中に潜った時もすぐ近くで見ることができました。
海亀と一緒に潜る経験は良い思い出になりました。
船長さんも親切で楽しく過ごせました。
ただ、天気が良くても沖に出ますのでどうしても船が揺れます。友達が船酔いでダウンしたので、検討中の方は船酔い対策は必須だと思います。
空腹と疲労が悪かったと友達が言っていたので、参加が早い時間ですので朝食と早めの睡眠はちゃんととっておきましょう。

Dear Banana Man, thank you for joining our tour. There are only a limited number of certified guides who speak Japanese at Hanauma Bay, which can sometimes lead to this situation. I sincerely apologize for any disappointment this may have caused. Moving forward, we will review our shortcomings to ensure that our customers have a more enjoyable experience. We look forward to seeing you again when you visit Hawaii. Thank you. Mahalo!
ばななまん様、この度はツアーにお越しいただきましてありがとうございます。日本語の話せるハナウマ湾の公認ガイドは限られた少ない人数のためにこうなることもございます。がっかりさせてしまい大変申し訳ございませんでした。今後はもっとお客様に楽しかったと言っていただけますように、悪い所は見直し、更に頑張ってゆきたいと思っております。どうぞまたハワイにお越しの際にはお会いできますことをお待ちしております。ありがとうございました。Mahalo!
